Review of Cowboys & Aliens (2011) by Julia J — 03 Jul 2013
A rather strange surprise, Cowboys & Aliens was pretty entertaining. Mixing Sci-Fi and a western together is a pretty interesting formula that plays out in a rather believable manner here. The film it self has lots of clichés, but has a lot of nice Sci-Fi and western elements to it, to make it tolerable.
The story is very well done and involved. The acting is surprisingly great; Ford and Craig are very good as their roles and keep the viewer involved. The writing and direction is very average, but has a charm to it.
I remember seeing the trailer and saying this is the dumbest idea ever, to an extent it is, but at the same time isn't. Overall, Cowboys & Aliens is a huge surprise and a well done popcorn film; give it a chance and you may be pleasantly surprised.
